5 Questions to Ask a Chiropractor Before Your First Adjustment

Seeing a chiropractor for the first time can be exciting — and a little nerve-wracking. You’re taking a step toward better health, fewer aches and pains, and better performance in everyday life. But choosing the right chiropractor matters. That first appointment sets the tone for your health journey, so asking the right questions helps you feel confident and secure about your care.

To help you make an informed decision, here are five essential questions to ask a chiropractor before your first adjustment — especially if you’re in the Rochester, Chili, or Churchville NY area and exploring natural health options.

1. What Is Your Approach to Chiropractic Care?

Not all chiropractors practice the same way. Some focus primarily on pain relief, while others take a corrective or wellness-based approach designed to support long-term function and nervous system health. Asking about their philosophy of care can tell you a lot about whether they’re the right fit for your needs.

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we take a full-body approach. We don’t just chase symptoms — we look for the root cause. That includes assessments of posture, movement, nervous system function, and lifestyle habits that impact your spine and nervous system.

Before any adjustment happens, patients go through a thorough assessment so we don’t guess — we assess and create a plan based on what YOUR body needs.

2. Do You Perform an Exam Before Adjusting?

This question is critical. A trustworthy chiropractor will never adjust someone blindly. A proper evaluation should include a health history review, physical assessment, consultation, and possibly digital X-rays — especially if you’ve had previous injuries or unresolved pain.

This helps ensure precision, safety, and clarity on the most effective approach. At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we use a comprehensive evaluation process so patients feel confident before any treatment begins.

We also offer advanced Corrective Care Services including digital spine X-rays and neuromuscular assessments:

3. How Will You Personalize My Treatment?

No two bodies are alike — and no two treatment plans should be either. The best chiropractors don’t just try to “crack and go.” They evaluate movement patterns, posture, stress levels, lifestyle demands, and medical history before creating a plan.

You may want to ask:

• Will I receive a custom care plan?
• Will you explain why each adjustment is used?
• Will you reassess my progress over time?

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we build individualized plans based on a patient’s goals and response to care. That’s why patients from all over Churchville, Chili, Rochester, and Monroe County choose our team — because progress is measured, tracked, and reassessed over time for the best long-term results.

4. Do You Offer Other Supportive Therapies?

Chiropractic adjustments can be incredibly powerful — but when combined with complementary therapies, your healing potential can increase dramatically. Ask your chiropractor whether they offer passive and active modalities that work hand-in-hand with adjustments.

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, patients may benefit from:

• SoftWave Therapy – for inflammation, joint pain & chronic injuries
• Massage Therapy – to support muscle recovery & reduce tension
• Infrared Sauna – to promote detoxification and circulation
• Red Light Therapy (coming soon)

Chiropractic shouldn’t be a one-dimensional service. The body heals best when multiple systems are supported together — movement, circulation, nervous system, recovery, and stress.
